Babylonian Empire

Having successfully hit the opponent's pilot just now, Zhang Feng saw the helicopter appear in the scope, and then, the cockpit turned red, knowing that he had completed the mission.

The next moment, you will see the helicopter tumble down, fall to the ground, and become a ball of fire:.

Unexpectedly, the helicopter was still flying perfectly, but the six-barreled cannon below had already aimed at it and was about to fire.

Oops, miscalculation, the remaining guy can also fly a plane!

At this moment, Zhang Feng was suddenly pulled down by two soldiers and hid behind the burning tank.

"What are you doing? Marwan? Valikh?" Zhang Feng was angry.

The two did not explain, they pressed Zhang Feng to the ground, and then all the rest of the team members had stood up, and all the "Tabuk" 7.62mm assault rifles fired at the cobra together!

Zhang Feng knew that these fighters of his were trying to leave the hope of survival to himself, but they resolutely chose to sacrifice. With this shooting method, the probability of hitting the opponent's helicopter is even smaller.The next moment, the opponent's machine gun will crazily pour over 20mm shells, and as long as it is hit by one shot, it will smash people to pieces.

The weapon operator pressed the fire button, but the cannon didn't fire.

He looked down and saw a red light on the dashboard, and then he remembered that all the shells had been fired during the venting just now.

Watching the sudden increase in firepower on the ground.He jerked the nose up.

Under the belly of the helicopter, there is a thick armor, so he is not afraid of the shooting of this ordinary rifle at all. He just needs to turn around and come back, and at the same time, he is ready to launch an anti-tank missile, which will turn them all into ashes!

I thought the opponent was about to fire shells, but the cannons below didn't fire, so they pulled it up and flew away, and the soldiers stopped firing.There are only [-] bullets in a magazine, and the continuous firing just now has already run out of bullets.

Zhang Feng has completed preparations for reloading.

In any case, this is an opportunity, and Zhang Feng jumped up again.

This time, the Cobra had just completed the turn, the tail was aligned, and the weapons operator was doing the work of two and had no energy to maneuver.

Zhang Feng aimed at the opponent's tail and fired the bullet again.

This time, it was an incendiary bomb.

It was already getting dark, and a bright light passed by, and then, thick smoke rose from the opponent's tail.

Zhang Feng's bullet just hit the cobra's rear hydraulic operating mechanism, pierced the hydraulic oil pipe, and immediately caught fire.

The cobra, this time, looked like a headless fly, its tail was damaged, and the fuselage suddenly spun, fell to the ground, and turned into a sea of ​​flames with a bang.

The second Cobra was finally shot down too!

Chapter 49Preparation

Chapter 49 Preparation——

The night was getting dark, and racks of Ch-47 Chinooks, pulling green onions from the dry land, flew away from the base of Ahvaz as lightly as a falcon. "novel"

At this time, the belly of CH-47 was already filled with the fuel and ammunition that the armored division urgently needed.

Without fuel, the tank is just a decoration, without ammunition, the tank can only choose to escape.

The battle in the afternoon also consumed a lot of ammunition.

The ammunition base of the Chieftain tank is 64 rounds. However, because the mission this time is to assault the rear of the Iraqi army, half of the shells are grenades, which are the preferred ammunition for charging to break through the opponent's line of defense.

However, unexpectedly, in the swamp, they were desperately blocked by the opponent's tank brigade, and a tank battle broke out.

A grenade is a projectile filled with explosives, which rely on the fragments produced during the explosion and the energy generated by the explosion to cause damage and damage. It is a big killer against infantry, and it can also pose a part of the threat against fortifications. However, against Tanks, then there is more than enough energy.

To deal with tanks, the main type of ammunition is the armor-piercing ammunition with tail stabilized shells. Each tank only has 20 rounds, and the rest are armor-piercing ammunition.Practice has proved that armor-piercing bullets cannot deal with T-62, and only armor-piercing bullets are the best.

Therefore, the ammunition shipped this time is mainly the armor-piercing ammunition used by the 120mm rifled gun of the Chieftain tank.

109mm shell for the &1a155 self-propelled howitzer.

The fate of this self-propelled howitzer is even more tragic. In 79, Iran imported 440 m109a1 self-propelled howitzers from the United States to equip several domestic armored divisions and provide fire cover.

The &109a1 self-propelled howitzer is a large howitzer with a barrel of 39 times the caliber and a caliber of 155 mm. This weapon is mainly used to accompany the armored group, with a maximum range of 18 kilometers, providing long-range fire assistance.

This time, there was a battalion of self-propelled howitzers that followed the armored division into the swamp. However, the swamp was obviously a big test for self-propelled howitzers with poorer maneuverability.

In order to pass through the swamp, it is necessary to reduce its own weight. Therefore, although the self-propelled howitzer followed, it did not carry shells.Each shell is about 50 kilograms. According to carrying 30 shells, it can reduce the weight of one and a half tons, which is very helpful for passing through the swamp.

As a result, before these shells were loaded on the self-propelled howitzers, they were all set on fire in the supply base.

Otherwise, in daytime battles, although the self-propelled howitzers are deployed at the rear, with their long range, they are enough to send all the opponent's armored vehicles into the sky, greatly reducing their frontal pressure.

Rajawi stood next to the command vehicle, listening to the loud roar in the distant air.

In the low-light night vision device, the pilots of the CH-47 fleet had already seen a row of parked vehicles in the distance. After radio confirmation, they airborne at a suitable place and unloaded their supplies:.

All the soldiers ran over to help, and in the wind blown by the helicopter's rotor, they picked up the oil cans carried on it and ran towards their chief.

As long as the chief is filled with gas and ammunition, the chief is still a powerful weapon!

The pilots of the helicopter were all very nervous, because before they set off, they got a message that the last two Cobras responsible for covering them had been shot down, and they could only rely on themselves. It might be a disaster.

God knows what shot down the cobra. If there are Iraqi deer here, who knows if they will risk the night and attack them quietly?

But soldiers take obeying orders as their bounden duty. In order to save the armored division, they have no choice even if they take the Chinook on board.

Rajawi looked at the busy soldiers, looked at the stars in the sky, and thought about the soldiers who died in the battle today. His mood was very complicated. Almighty Allah, please bless Iran, a country full of disasters!

Baghdad, the presidential palace.

"Your Excellency, although Qusay is young, he is very resourceful. Although we did not find him, didn't we still not find his body?" Defense Minister Adnan-Halala and Saddam said.

Adnan is Qusay's uncle, but he is also Iraq's Minister of Defense and head of military security. When he learned about the Southern Military Region, he immediately came to see Saddam and reported to him.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that although Qu Sai was young, he would do so many important things. When he said that he wanted to go to the Southern Military Region, I agreed. He went to the Southern Military Region. Instead of staying at the headquarters, he went to The Susangild swamp, there could not have been a battlefield, but the Iranians actually came from the swamp." Saddam said with a sigh: "Qusay is indeed my good son, if he hadn't arrived The 35th Armored Brigade, that brigade is resting and will not raise its vigilance, so it will not successfully block the Iranians in the swamp, if the Iranians succeed, we will fall into a very passive position."

As the president of a country, especially one with many strong wishes, Saddam knew that now is not the time to consider personal feelings. Even if Qusay died, it would be an honor to die!

Adnan looked at the map on the wall, and he was also deeply moved. Who would have thought that the Iranians would choose to appear in an absolutely impossible place. If the 35th Armored Brigade did not block them, the Iranians would drive straight in and besiege Afghanistan. Bataan's more than a dozen divisions were stabbed in the back. These troops were caught off guard, and the results of more than a year's battle may be wiped out.

According to the battle report ahead, the 35th Brigade wiped out half of the tank troops, but finally succeeded in blocking the pace of the Iranians. The 35th Brigade made a great contribution!

"How did the air force do it? Are you ready to attack?" Saddam asked dissatisfied.

Major General Abed immediately sweated profusely, and said: "Your Excellency, when the Iranians were discovered, our fighter jets at Basra Air Force Base were undergoing maintenance, and a MiG-21 fighter squadron was on combat duty to deal with the tanks on the ground. There is nothing that can be done, and most of the Hind gunships are in the Abadan area. Currently, three squadrons of Hind helicopters are being mobilized to prepare to assist the Susangilde swamp area. At the same time, the Su-20 needs insufficient ground bombs. It is being dispatched by the headquarters, and the air force will definitely dispatch tomorrow morning, and at the same time report the combat plan to His Excellency the President."

"What's wrong with the MiG-21? Isn't the MiG-21 equipped with missiles? Isn't it okay to use missiles to fight tanks? It's just fear of war! Also, there are only three squadrons of Hinds? It's not enough at all. We transferred 6 squadrons in the past, tomorrow In the morning, take off the MiG-25, MiG-23 and Su-20, and go to deal with the Iranian tanks together and execute the order." Saddam said.
